Manufacturing jobs moved elsewhere, but the owners stayed.

Stock buybacks instead of new capital investment.

Job eliminating technology.

Food and energy price inflation.

This is how social unrest occurs.

"World War 1 (and World War 2)
was the result of the ambitions and mistakes of a very small number of people.

"Today the drive to war is blatantly obvious. The lies are obvious, and the entire West is participating, both media and governments.

Habeas corpus, due process, the right to open trials and determination of guilt by independent jurors prior to imprisonment and execution, the right to privacy have all been overturned by the Bush/Obama regimes. Torture is against US and international law; yet Washington set up torture prisons all over the globe.

...Reckless carelessness is the way wars start."

Paul Roberts

The United States has no moral authority to tell the rest of the world what is right or wrong anymore.

There was a time when we could credibly speak on righteousness, but that time has past.

We have collectively become what our nation used to abhor.
